Newsong

Newsong has established itself as a significant group in contemporary Christian music, known for its extensive touring and founding of the Winter Jam Tour Spectacular. After signing with Covenant Records in 1982, Newsong launched a prolific career in contemporary Christian music, releasing ‘The Son In My Eyes’ (1983) and ‘The Word’ (1984) through Canaan Records in 1984. The group continued to achieve widespread success, joining DaySpring Records and Benson Music Group, and earning multiple No. 1 hits with albums such as ‘All Around The World’ (1993), which produced four chart-topping singles, and ‘People Get Ready’ (1994), which also generated four No.

1 hits. Key members during this period included Eddie Carswell, Billy Goodwin, Eddie Middleton, and Bobby Apon. A significant turning point occurred in 2000 with the release of ‘The Christmas Shoes’ as a bonus track on their album ‘Sheltering Tree’. The song quickly became a No.

Beyond their acclaimed musical releases, Newsong founded the Winter Jam Tour Spectacular in 1995. This event has since grown to become recognized as the largest annual Christian music tour in the United States, consistently featuring a diverse lineup of prominent Christian artists. Newsong maintained a robust touring schedule, frequently appearing on both Christian and mainstream charts. In 2005, the group’s enduring contributions to music were honored with their induction into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.

Newsong remains a touring force, upholding its reputation for engaging live performances that blend traditional carols with original compositions, continuing to inspire audiences across the country.
